Carlotta was a bit puzzled. Why was Avery introducing her to flower shops?
Before she could ask, Avery had already told Carlotta the locations of several flower shops, looking at her with an encouraging gaze.
"Miss Fenwick is a good girl. You should cherish her."
"..."
Carlotta was both amused and exasperated. Wasn’t Avery always well-inford? How could she also be fooled by rumors?
She had no choice but to explain, "We are not dating."
Avery clearly didn’t believe her and instead said, "Tomorrow is a holiday. You should cherish this precious day."
It was reasonable to have a holiday for the Rose Festival, and with the following weekend, it was a three-day holiday, which put everyone in a good mood.
Seeing that Avery didn’t believe her, Carlotta felt helpless. She had said what she needed to say, but if others didn’t believe her, there was nothing she could do.
The afternoon classes were quite long.
Perhaps because there would be three consecutive days off, the afternoon classes were extended. By the ti the last class ended, a hint of dusk had already appeared in the sky.
When the teacher announced the end of class, the students rushed out of the classroom, most heading straight to the cafeteria, afraid that if they were late, they would only get the leftovers.
However, when they arrived at the cafeteria, they found that every class had been delayed, so there was no need to worry about getting leftovers. But with so many students from different classes flooding into the cafeteria at the sa ti, it beca quite crowded.
Despite the crowd, Carlotta imdiately spotted Alia. No matter how crowded other areas were, the space around Alia and other noble children remained spacious, as no one dared to squeeze near them.
After ordering her dinner, Carlotta directly went to the table where Alia was sitting.
"Miss Fenwick, shall we sit here?"
Alia looked up and, seeing it was Carlotta, nodded.
After sitting down, Carlotta asked curiously, "Miss Fenwick, do nobles always have guards secretly protecting them when they go out?"
The reason she ca to Alia was naturally to ask so questions, which were very important to her, as they pertained to how to hunt Soren.
Alia said, "Before we are strong enough, there are indeed guards who follow us."
Hearing this, Carlotta’s heart sank. This ans that Soren will also have guards hidden in the shadows. How could she deal with that?
She wasn’t ready to give up and asked in detail, "No matter where you go, the guards will follow?"
Alia didn’t know why Carlotta was suddenly curious about this and smiled, "It’s not like that. For example, when I ca to Caerwyn Academy, my guards wouldn’t enter the academy but would wait outside. Also, even outside, if I entered so private places, like the restroom, the guards would keep their distance."
The guards of nobles were not always by their side.
Even so, Carlotta was still troubled. As long as Soren had guards, it would be difficult for her to do anything to Soren in the capital.
As for dealing with Soren in Victoria Academy? That was also a difficult task.
For a mont, Carlotta was lost in thought.
Avery also arrived at the cafeteria and, with a glance, saw Carlotta sitting at the sa table as Alia.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Miss White is really saying one thing and doing another. She said they weren’t dating, but now they’re having dinner together."
In Avery’s mind, the fact that Carlotta was dating Alia was already confird.
...
Tonight’s night was exceptionally thick.
Looking up, the moon was nowhere to be seen, and the stars were sparse, as if a deity had spilled ink across the vast sky.
Carlotta returned to her dormitory, pondering her next move while holding the Rose Cross and beginning her cultivation.
A noble lady’s casual actions could bring her a lot of trouble, while she found it extrely difficult to counter them, with no clue where to start.
The disparity in status makes Carlotta feel as if a mountain was pressing on her heart, making her uncomfortable all over.
Although she had managed to temporarily keep the Sunset Rose assassins from dealing with her, this was only temporary.
The Sunset Rose assassins will eventually find ti to complete their orders. Couldn’t she solve Soren before that?
She knew that even if she dealt with Soren, Sunset Rose would probably not cancel the order, but she still wanted to get rid of the person who had caused her so much trouble, because she didn’t know when this person would create even bigger trouble for her.
Having an assassin organization co after her was already a huge trouble, but she had reason to believe that Soren could bring even more terrifying troubles, and not all troubles were sothing she could handle.
She was never a passive person. If soone wanted to kill her, she would kill them. When had a transmigrator ever backed down?
"Soren Carlisle, you must die!"
Carlotta swung her sword heavily, and the sharp sound of the blade cutting through the air echoed through the dormitory.
After practicing for a while, she took out the Mana Surge Potion again, applied it to her forehead, and then sat down to ditate, using the potion to absorb the elents of the world and convert them into her own mana.
Since obtaining the Mana Surge Potion, she had been using this high-quality alchemical potion, and the effects had been very noticeable over the past few days.
Today, she hadn’t been practicing for long before she felt the mana in her body boiled, and then her mana quality was strengthened to a new level.
Carlotta suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed the Rose Cross beside her, and swung it forward in a spinning dance, spinning and slashing, as if performing a graceful dance.
This was the Elven Knight Path, the Fourth Movent of The Twelve Echoes of Elven Steel, the Elven Dance!
She had beco a fourth-level apprentice!
Carlotta hadn’t expected to make a breakthrough today, which surprised and delighted her.
"I can break through on the spot, which ans it’s destined for to kill you, Soren," Carlotta’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
She continued her cultivation, as if she couldn’t feel the passage of ti.
The night grew deeper.
Gradually, midnight arrived.
Carlotta had been paying attention to the ti all day, and when it pointed to midnight, she imdiately checked the intelligence.
[ 1: With the Rose Festival approaching, many flower shops have prepared fresh roses, waiting for custors to co and choose. Of course, the prices have increased several tis compared to usual. At the Cecily Flower Shop at 52 Roman Street in Cross District, the quality of the roses is the highest.]
Cecily Flower Shop? This seems to be one of the flower shops Avery had recomnded today.
The recomndation from the rchant’s daughter was indeed reliable, even making it into the system’s intelligence.
Carlotta felt a brief pang of emotion, but since she wasn’t interested in that kind of intelligence, she quickly moved on to the next piece of information.
[2:On the day of the Rose Festival, Soren Carlisle will still go to the Warrior Shooting Club for training, as the excessive number of suitors annoys her, and she doesn’t want to appear in public on this day.]
Looking at this piece of information, Carlotta couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.
"This counts as future intelligence, doesn’t it..."
Carlotta murmured.
In the past, the intelligence she received was about events that had already happened, but this piece of information clearly belonged to the future.
This caused a slight ripple in Carlotta’s emotions; it was the second ti she had encountered such obviously future-oriented intelligence, which almost gave her the ability to foresee events.
However, future intelligence is not so easily obtained; after such a long ti, this was her second encounter with such information. Before it was about cafeteria food.
She continued to read the following intelligence.
[ 3:When Soren Carlisle goes out, there are often two guards following her secretly, naly Albus Collins and Egon Farrell. When Soren enters the Warrior Shooting Club for training, the two of them will go to the coffee shop next door to rest. From the position by the glass wall in the coffee shop, they can easily see the corridors of each floor of the Warrior Shooting Club, including the entrance to the Tulip Shooting Range, allowing them to know Soren’s movents imdiately.]
This piece of information made Carlotta thoughtful.
She slightly closed her eyes, and the surrounding environnt she morized while wandering around the Warrior Shooting Club during the day surfaced in her mind.
Across the street from the club, there was indeed a popular coffee shop with glass walls, and turning one’s head would reveal the club.
The club had many floors, with corridors on the outermost layer, surrounded by walls of moderate height, allowing ample sunlight to fill the corridors.
"This counts as quite useful information," Carlotta reopened her eyes and whispered to herself.
She looked at the next piece of intelligence, which was the last one for today, as there were only four pieces of intelligence today.
[4:The Warrior Shooting Club actually has a secret passage, which the club owner, Luke Andrew, secretly built when establishing the club without his wife’s knowledge. Using this passage, Luke quietly had trysts with many ladies, often having affairs in his study, while his wife in the next bedroom remained oblivious. The location of this secret passage is...]
The location and thod of entering the secret passage were all revealed in the intelligence.
Carlotta’s expression beca subtle as she read.
Combining the pieces of intelligence with the information she already knew, a possibility for assassinating Soren imdiately erged, and the probability of success seed quite high.
"There’s actually a secret passage..."
Carlotta licked her lips, feeling that this last piece of intelligence was like a thread that connected all the previous information, giving her a feasible thod.
She paced back and forth in her dormitory, ca up with a plan, and kept simulating it, her heart pounding with excitent.
"Soren, heaven is sealing your fate!"
Finally, Carlotta left her dormitory.
The ti after midnight was already the Rose Festival, so many self-proclaid romantics had already bought roses to give to their loved ones.
This caused the entrance of the academy to remain bustling with people coming and going, and Carlotta walking through the crowd and leaving the academy didn’t attract much attention.
She headed straight to the Cross District, intending to execute her assassination plan today.
This was a very bold move, as her target was the child of a noble, and success would undoubtedly shake the imperial capital. Failure would an utter ruin.
But she couldn’t hold back any longer.
How exactly had she offended Soren? Just thinking about the reason, she found it sowhat laughable.
It wasn’t so much that she had offended Soren, but rather that the other party didn’t value her life, hence the desire to trample her at will.
But how could she be soone who could be trampled on so easily?
An ancient saying from her past life put it well, "When a common man is enraged, blood will spill within five steps!"
Since things had developed to this point, Carlotta no longer wanted to ponder how severe the consequences might be.
She only knew one thing: Soren must die, and it must be today!
The Rose Festival, a day symbolizing romance, would be a fortunate day for Soren to die.
With this resolve, Carlotta arrived at the Cross District.
The Cross District was still bustling at night, as there were relatively more flower shops in this area, so many people chose to co here to pick satisfactory roses to give to their loved ones on this festival.
Unconsciously, Carlotta also passed by Roman Street and saw the Cecily Flower Shop.
This was a flower shop that could appear in the system’s intelligence, so Carlotta couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
At this mont, many people were waiting outside the flower shop, looking dissatisfied.
Carlotta approached and listened, then learned the situation.
The Cecily Flower Shop, to ensure the quality of the roses, had a slow delivery process, so the roses hadn’t arrived yet.
However, the shop owner had already promised everyone that satisfactory roses would arrive soon.
But so were still dissatisfied and left, choosing other flower shops instead.
Seeing this, Carlotta beca thoughtful, then stepped forward to approach the owner of the Cecily Flower Shop, a mature-looking lady.
"I’m Carlotta White from the Caerwyn Academy, and I want a bouquet of your roses. I know your roses haven’t arrived yet, so I can go to a nearby hotel to rest and co back later. If I oversleep, please keep them for . Here’s the deposit."
Carlotta wanted to provide a reasonable explanation for her nightti departure from the academy.
If she succeeded in assassinating Soren, this event would undoubtedly trigger a massive investigation, and she, who had a conflict with Soren, would inevitably be noticed.
If it were known that she left the academy at night and mysteriously disappeared for a night, her suspicion would be too great.
So she needed a reason.
Avery had recomnded the Cecily Flower Shop to her during the day, so it was reasonable for her to co here at night to order a bouquet of roses.
Coincidentally, the shop’s roses hadn’t arrived yet, so it was also reasonable for her to rest at a nearby hotel. Even if she overslept and ca to collect the roses the next day, it wouldn’t be a problem.
As for the roses... it seed they would have to be given to Alia. Although Carlotta didn’t want to deliberately create rumors, for the sake of safety, she could only take advantage of the already circulating gossip.
Her actions were traceable, so even if Soren died, what did it have to do with her?
